One way to do that (if you really want to re-install instead of running
cygcheck and just re-install those packages listed as incomplete) is to
edit /etc/setup/installed.db so that each package version listed there
is "outdated". The next time you run setup it will upgrade everything,
which is thre re-install you want.
sed -re 's/( [a-zA-Z].*-.*-)[0-9]+\./\10./' \
-i.bak /etc/setup/installed.db
